Michigan linebacker commitment Marcus Witherspoon of Absecon (NJ) Holy Spirit was one of three official visitors from the Garden State over the weekend, attending the Wolverines game against Penn State. Having made two previous unofficial trips to Ann Arbor, the Rivals250 member knew what to expect, but still enjoyed his experience.

Meeting a number of his future teammates already on the Michigan squad, Witherspoon also had the opportunity speak with the other recruits in attendance, including those who have yet to make a decision. While he took that opportunity to put in a good word for the Wolverines, having already been through the process, he is aware that each recruit must find his own way.

While some members of Michigan's 2008 recruiting class have made note of catching grief over the Wolverines' 0-2 start to the season, Witherspoon noted that he has not had any such problem.
